The Resurgence Of The Lost Heir Chapter 136 Baby Ava
"What a ridiculous notion!" James scoffed. "Nobody would dare to fire me from my father's company. I'm his son, for goodness' sake!"He said it with a tone of arrogance, as if the very idea of being fired was absurd. But underneath that bravado, a tiny seed of doubt was beginning to sprout. "Really?" the man said, his voice tinged with disgust. “Why are you running away? That's not very admirable." His words hit their mark, but James refused to be intimidated. He knew that the man was just trying to get a reaction, and he wasn't going to give him the satisfaction. Instead, he pretends as if he didn't hear him. , but it was difficult to ignore the man's taunts.James glared at the man, his irritation bubbling to the surface. "Where did you get the idea that I'm running away?" he snapped. "I'm just taking a break, for goodness' sake."He knew it was a feeble excuse, but he couldn't bring himself to admit the truth. The truth was, he was running away. He didn't want that bastard to scold

Annika smiled and looked directly at James. "Uncle, we're facing an enemy that is too strong for either of us to fight on our own," she said. "If we're going to defeat him, we'll have to work together." Her voice was calm and collected, but there was a hint of urgency in her words. She needed to act fast. She paused for a moment, waiting for James to respond. He looked back at her, his expression unreadable.James sat on the bed, dumbfounded by Annika's suggestion. "Are you kidding me?" he exclaimed, his tone incredulous. "We're competing for the same position! How could we ever work together?"Annika's composure was unshaken by James's outburst. "Uncle, can you really take on Jerome by yourself?" she asked with a hint of mockery in her voice.James's jaw clenched, but he tried to keep his cool. "I can handle myself," he retorted, his tone defensive. "I don't need your help."Annika raised an eyebrow, unconvinced. "I think you're underestimating our enemy," she said, trying to convin

Bright sat silently, waiting for Rosca to state her solution.“Be my boyfriend," Rosca blurted out.As Rosca spoke, Bright was so taken aback that he nearly dropped his drink. “Cough, cough, cough," he sputtered, choking on his beverage.Rosca's words were cut short as she noticed Bright's sudden coughing fit. Concerned, she jumped to her feet and rushed over to him, gently patting his back. "Are you okay?" she asked in a worried tone, her eyes wide with alarm.Bright patted his chest and said, “I'm alright. But hey, what did you say?" He was still in shock.Rosca didn't realize her request was too much. Did she know what she was talking about? “Have you forgotten I have a girlfriend?" Bright lifted his brow and asked."It's not that I want you to be my real boyfriend, why are you acting as if I'm about to arrest you?" Rosca clarified, her tone firm but gentle. "I just need you to act as my fake boyfriend. That's all. I'm not asking for anything more than that." She paused for a momen
The Resurgence Of The Lost Heir Chapter 141 A visit to the mansion
Sunday had arrived, and Bright was feeling nervous. He wanted to make a good impression on Rosca's parents. "I've got to look my best today," thought Bright, standing in front of his closet. He stood in front of his wardrobe, searching for the perfect outfit. Finally, he settled on a crisp blue-black suit that he thought would make a great impression. He put it on, looked in the mirror, and couldn't help but smile at his reflection. "This is it," he said to himself. "I look great,” thought Bright, standing in front of the mirror. His blue-black suit fit him perfectly, and he couldn't help but admire his reflection. He fixed his tie and smoothed out his hair, making sure he looked his best. When he looked at his reflection, he couldn't help but smile. "I'm ready for this," he said to himself, feeling more confident. He grabbed his keys and headed out the door, feeling prepared to meet Rosca's family. As he walked to the car, he took a deep breath and comforted himself, "I can do this."
The Resurgence Of The Lost Heir Chapter 142 A meeting at the mansion
It was only when Rosca mentioned that her mother realized she had brought a man with her. Seizing Bright up and down, she asked her daughter with doubt, "Is he truly your boyfriend?""Of course, he is. How do you see him?" Rosca asked. Her mother's opinion would help her know whether she would support her or not.Mrs. Rogan looked Bright up and down, a smile playing on her lips. "My daughter always has excellent taste," she said approvingly. "She only chooses the best of the best. And I can see that she's chosen well this time." She gave him a warm smile, her eyes shining with pride and approval. The young man was handsome and looked fit. “Alright, your grandfather and father are waiting," she said.Bright suddenly became nervous at the mention of the old man's name. He hoped he wouldn't make things difficult for him. Rosca followed her mother, and Bright followed Rosca.When Rosca saw her grandfather and father, she rushed to them and hugged them, forgetting she had fought with her g
The Resurgence Of The Lost Heir Chapter 143 The fight
The place was filled with laughter. The old man's expression suddenly turned serious. He dropped his spoon and said, “Young man, how did you meet my daughter?"Bright's expression turned somber. "I first met your daughter when we got into an argument," he began, "but then we ran into each other again at my boss's house. Even though we argued all the time, I started to develop feelings for her. I can't help it - I'm completely smitten with her." He paused, then added, "I hope you can accept me as a potential son-in-law." His tone was hopeful, but he was nervous about the response he would receive.Mrs. Reagan smiled in satisfaction. Her future son-in-law was direct and clear. He was handsome and smart at the same time.Rosca's father was not pleased by Bright's words, and his tone became skeptical. "My daughter has a fiery temper," he said. "When she's angry, she tends to destroy things around her. How do you plan to deal with that?" His eyes narrowed as he studied Bright's face, waiti

The old master, however, was visibly distressed, sighing every few seconds out of worry and fear."Is there anywhere else you think he might be?" the old master asked Steve and Gaius."No," Daniel replied."Sir," a guard interrupted, entering the room."The cops are here," the guard reported.Sitting on the balcony upstairs, they watched as four cops entered, and the old master stood up expectantly."Any news?" he asked."We found this... by the bridge," one of the cops said, handing over a piece of note to the old master."What is this?" the old master asked, his hands shaking."It's a supposed suicide note written by your

Gaius watched his friend suffer and feel uneasy trying to calm Jasmine down."Fuck this is frustrating!! Why does she cry too much? Does she have an ocean under her eyes?" Steve mumbled under his breath with a frown.Gaius helped him out by putting Jasmine's head on his shoulder and taking Steve's hand to stroke her hair gently. She came down shortly and Steve smiled, not long after sleep took over her and Steve positioned her well on the couch, allowing her head to sleep on his lap as he continued stroking her hair.Her beautiful face caught him and Steve began staring at her full eyebrows, nice nose, and such lovely lips too. He didn't know what was going on but his heartbeat is racing abnormally right now.Jerome had called the guys earlier and told them he would spend the night in the hospital with Eleanor since she had been attended t

Jerome's phone rang and Eleanor had to pick it up for him since he was driving.She put it on loudspeaker so that he could hear “Man. You guys are going to keep me here till night falls right?" Gauis fumed over the phone" What are you talking about? " Jerome asked innocently."Don't tell me you forgot?" Gaius said."What day is today? I don't remember today being any special or am I missing out on something?" Jerome asked clueless.“What hell with you Jerome!!! We were supposed to go and pick up my family today, can't believe you forgot," Gaius said, annoyed already."Shoot!!! I'm so sorry man. Take the lead I will join you soon I promise.

"All eyes fell on James, somehow they were happy he was here because he was the only one who could handle Stanley's madness.""Have you gone nuts? Do you want to kill your grandpa, someone who cared for you as an infant even though he has never liked existence? He did his best by giving you capital to start a new life. You wasted the money and showed your stupid face here like the burden you are, and now you want to kill him? I swear to anything you hold sacred, if you do not put that gun down, I promise you will regret it, little boy," James barked at him.In a normal circumstance, Stanley would have thrown the gun away as soon as James scolded him, but this time around, he had a smirk plastered on his face. He started laughing maniacally, showcasing his madness."You fool, do you think the little stunts you pull still affect me? Grow up, man. Those empty threats of yours don't affect me anymore. I will advise you to clear my way, or do you want to die in his place?" Stanley glared a

"How did all this happen right under my nose without my notice?" the old master said with shock."You have a good mindset, Grandpa, but it doesn't mean everybody's like you. James chose to take the part of envy. You did not choose for him, so do not blame yourself. As for Annika, she is just a green snake in the grass," Steve said, trying to calm the old man down."I knew that Annika's silence was a threat, but I never expected her to join forces with James. Nevertheless, I'm not surprised. I expected one thing or another from her," Jerome said without concern."Steve, can you tell me exactly how you managed to get them together?" the old man asked."Before grandma left this morning, I was with her in the house when James and Annika came down together, ready for work. I got suspicious, so I asked Grandma when the both of them became that close... She replied that it started not long ago, but from her speech, I could sense she was happy at the new bonding. I don't know why, but somehow

Steve went straight to Cadell's company, needing to see Jerome immediately. He had been avoiding the fight that had arisen between himself and Jerome, but he was lucky enough Eleanor had talked to Jerome on his behalf, so they were fine now."Is your boss in?" Steve asked as he chanced upon Bright, who was just coming out of the elevator."Yes, he is in. Should I inform him about your arrival? He is currently in a meeting with the company board," Bright answered."Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait for him in his office," Steve smiled.Bright escorted him to Jerome's office, offered him a glass of water, and excused himself to continue his work.James came in with Anika, rushing to the meeting room, which ended abruptly at their arrival. All the board members stared at them with disdain."Why are you just coming, Mr. James, and Miss Anika?" One of them asked with a frown."Had to take care of some personal stuff," James answered simply."What about you, Anika?" Another person

She always has a new story to tell of her youthful days.Eleanor and Jerome had left early that morning because they had work."I do not see you busy of late," the old lady asked curiously."I took a break from work; my second-in-command is taking care of everything perfectly. He contacts me anytime he has difficulties," Steve explained."Okay, I was just wondering because the Steve I know is a busy person who has no time to spare," the old lady chuckled.There was silence in the room till the old lady spoke again."Why don't you use this opportunity and find yourself a lady who will take care of you? I know everyone has been urging you to get married, and you find it irritating, but let me give you a clue on what a partner in your life can do for you. She is going to be
Chapter 183 Mia's miserable life
Jerome and Eleanor were still in Jerome's grandparents' house when a call came to Jerome's phone. He excused himself to take it; it was a call from the doctor who is taking care of Jasmine."Why are you calling me at this hour? Do you need anything?" Jerome asked."I have good news for you instead, the lady you asked me to be taking care of is awake," the doctor broke the news."Finally, I can rest. It took her long enough," Jerome breathed out."What should we do about her, Boss?" The doctor asked."We will come visit her tomorrow; it is already late," Jerome concluded."Allow her to be in the hospital for now; I will be sending someone over to bring anything she will need. Keep her for now till I come for her myself," Jerome instructed.The call ended, and he joined his family."What took you so long?" Eleanor pouted."Just business," he answered."Where are my grandparents?" Jerome asked."They said they had to go get some sleep, and also your grandfather said we should stay for the
Chapter 182 Argument
There was silence between the old man and his grandson, none of them was ready to talk. The old master was expecting his grandson to say something but the bitterness down his throat is preventing him from saying anything."Did you call me to sit here and watch you or you're going to say something," the old Master started to break the silence in the room."Why did you do that?" Jerome said simply."Can you talk in simple words? What do you mean by what you just said?" the old master replied."Why did you take such a decision and ask my friend to keep it away from me? It is not just anything this issue here, is something that involves my life. You should have at least told me about it if not for anything for the bond we share. Not for once have I taken any decision without telling you about it because I thought you were my everything and we have that kind of bond but then you proved me wrong," Jerome spoke bitterly."Why would you think that of me? You should listen to me at least, I
